    What Does "Christ" Mean?

    Greek "christos" means "anointed" or "the anointed one". In Hebrew, "mashiach" means the same thing, which is translated as "Messiah" into English. Most English bibles leave this untranslated as "Christ", which is based on the Greek for Messiah. Whether we say Jesus Christ or Jesus Messiah is...

    Satan's NET : #1 = Romans 7

    Reader, If you are a born again Christian, then you are already "one with God".. "a New Creation", and "an Heir of God" and a "Joint Heir with Christ". You are already "seated in Heaenly places" BEFORE you ever even tried to "be a good Chrisitan", when God 1st birthed you into His Kingdom the...

    The second coming of Christ - comes to those who suffer, before it comes to those who merely wait

    Hi there, So this is not meant to be divisive, but is based entirely on an extrapolation of scripture: "when you did it to the least of these, you did it to me" (verse from memory, the Gospels). This verse is saying that when Christ has ruled, He will establish that He has done it in power -...

    Revelation 13:12 says "everyone on earth, will be forced to worship the beast", does that mean everyone on earth needs to repent? (refuse to repent?)

    Hi there, So I took a very little interpretation of Revelation 13:12 and I came to the conclusion, that since I am on Earth and at war with the sin in my members (as Paul says in the letters), I am at the very least going to be tempted to worship the beast. Now, I thought about it and thought...

    The Bookends of John's message of love and salvation

    From John 1:12 to John 20:31 and anything in between, the goal is clear.... To build a faith so strong it's unbreakable, By believing in the complete identity and name of Yeshua, The Christ (Messiah), the chosen one, the Son of the living God, His works, his authority, his character, His...

    A time of great distress that will come upon God’s people: The time of Jacob’s trouble.

    The prophet Jeremiah spoke of a time of great distress that would come upon God’s people, calling it “the time of Jacob’s trouble.” He said, “Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it; and it is the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it” (Jeremiah 30:7). This...

    I tried to rush the Rapture, and I felt sick (can you do anything apart from God?)

    Hi there, So I guess I am nothing, if not honest to a fault: I really and truly thought I could 'rush' the Rapture! It was just a matter of working out what the fool would believe, how he would see killing the faithful as a favor to God and imagining that the Devil would justify him. But God...

    The Devil refuses to call Christ 'evolved'; if he won't acknowledge Christ, what chance do we have? (kidding yourself?)

    Hi there, So there is a grave problem, with Evolution: the Devil does not acknowledge Christ, as 'evolved'. How do I know this? Because Jesus said the Holy Spirit would convict the world of judgment, because the "ruler of this world has been judged" - in other words, because he has not...

    The Bible teaches, that Christ created all things - but it is also true, that in the end, Christ holds everything *together* (needed?)

    Hi there! So I had my mind blown, today: not only does Christ created all things, not only does every created thing have their consistence in Christ, but in the end: Christ holds all things together. It was such a powerful thought, because I realized "I don't have to be doing this [life]...

    When we are first conceived, God examines us; then when we believe, God examines us more closely (see a pattern?)

    Hi there, So this is a simple truth which was discovered by someone, which helps keep our walk in the faith in perspective. The truth is, that when we are conceived, God examines us. We don't immediately have a full grown heart, but God examines what will become our heart. This is something...

    Jesus wants God to stay with Him, because God-things happen when He does (welcoming?)

    Hi there! So Jesus says "I do what I see the Father do" (from memory, the Gospels). But why does He do this? I think it is because when God does something that Jesus is able to do after Him, they both are able to do that thing together. Now this being "together" is important, because there is a...

    Without Love, God is darkness (lost?)

    Hi there! So a simple thought: without Love, God is darkness. In other words, when people sin, they say "the darkness made me do it". What they mean is "I refused to let God be God to me, and did what I liked". The darkness then, protects God, since He cannot sin as God, but is absolved of His...
  14. Personal Evangelism: My Walk With God.

    Personal Evangelism: My Walk With God.

    Evangelism: Walking With God. My first time in a church was an education and bore much fruit. I began going to church around 1980 or around that time. I had made a deal with the Lord that still stands today. I had many friends from around the world, although mostly teens around 17 and 18. After...

    The Cross is Jesus' way of saying that "anywhere you care to look, the evidence of my Spirit is there"? (arbitrary?)

    Hi there! So when you think of Christ suffering on the Cross, on Earth it looks like a Man stuck on a piece of wood. He looks like other men look, at a distance and then He dies and falls to the ground. Earth as it seems, simply swallows Him up. But there is a Heavenly interpretation, that adds...

    So what does the divinity of Jesus really mean, anyway?

    So what does the divinity of Jesus really mean, anyway? ---------------------------------------------- The divinity of Christ is being celebrated on these sites and forums like people moving back and forth on a stage in ignorant jubilation, throwing out endless amounts of presents to their...

    The Cross has the power to crush (overburdened?)

    Hi there, So you may remember that Jesus said "I will give you power to trample over the enemy" (Gospels, from memory), but you may not have linked that "trampling" with The Cross. The Cross is able to crush, every spiritual power any where in the Earth. The faith required to do this, happens...

    The Two Witnesses (Rev) are told "Come up here"; if they reach Heaven, will they not also come back to Earth? (important?)

    Hi there, So the Two Witnesses are told "come up here" in Revelation 11:12 (that is, "come to Heaven"). But what are the implications of this? Jesus ascended to Heaven and promised to return. If Jesus ascends and promises to return, how is it that the Two Witnesses - called by a voice in Heaven...

    Unorthodox? How about this: the book of Revelation is true for every world God ever created (in the universe)?

    Hi there, So I basically hang my hat on the verse that says "there are sheep of other folds, that I must go to" (from memory, the gospels) when it comes to the question of "are there aliens?". If we were just human and there were no aliens, Jesus would have said "I must keep winning souls of...

    Previous generations, have been summarized by us - we *also* will be summarized, by generations that come after us! (looking?)

    Hi there, So Solomon says at length "as it was, so shall it be" (in Ecclesiastes) and Christ Himself says "this generation shall not pass away, until all these things are fulfilled" (gospels, from memory) - what is it, that happens from generation to generation, if we both come to be and...
